Hi, Everyone, Brainiac is a wonderful title for a movie. A maniac who is brainy. Some of the sets are good, especially the indoor ballrooms where we see the ceilings. The hairstyles for the 60s are nice. Wardrobe is fine.
The rest of the movie sucks. The monster sucks brains through little holes in the victim's necks. If that is how he does it, why are the brains still full size when he nibbles on them? I do recommend this movie for anyone who likes really good, well made bad movies. To be a good bad movie, the producer and director have to try hard to make a good movie. The acting here is actually OK. The detectives are funny. I'm not sure if they want to be. The sweethearts are attractive in a sexless sort of way. The cars are so funny they don't show the whole vehicle.
The special effects could easily be done better by an eighth grade student with a twenty dollar budget. The comet looks like a paper airplane. The monster looks like a furry pinata. But the monster does dress smartly. Nice tie and sharp suit.
The story flows like grease through a burrito. It is easy to follow. The butler didn't do it, but he is still guilty of something. There should have been a sequel with the butler and the detectives.
One kind of weird thing I kept noticing in the movie was what appeared to be falling bits of something, like asbestos. Next time you watch, notice little flakes falling in certain scenes.
Not to be missed, unless you are able.
